Systems and methods are provided for identifying and compiling information relating to an entity for investigative analysis. The system may comprise one or more processors and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to search, in one or more data sources, with a plurality of known characteristics of an entity to obtain a first plurality of records, identify from the first plurality of records a subset of records that match the known characteristics with a substantial confidence, compile the subset of records to form a unified record representing the entity and conduct a second search with information from the unified record to obtain a second plurality of search results.
